Quality water pump

It seems the Shurflo in my 2015 Work n Play isn't up to the task anymore. It's making more noise than usual, and water pressure is lacking. The shower is useless, as it just dribbles out, and even the faucet pressure is noticeably weak.

Replacing the pump will require a contortionist, so I only want to replace it once. I'm seeing a lot of recommendations for Shurflo, which from what I can tell is a popular RV water pump, but as you might imagine I am a bit hesitant to go with them again.

Does your water system work fine when you are hooked up to city water where the RV WATER PUMP is not required... The City Water determines the water pressure in this case...

If you are only having water pressure problems when using the fresh water tank being pumped out by the RV WATER PUMP. Several things can be involved here lowering your water pressure...

One quick test you can do is stick your winterizing tube down in a gallon bucket of water and operate the valves to winterizing. With the RV Pump ON you should see great water pressure coming into the sinks, shower heads, etc with the pump running...

Air leaks in the lines are one cause for low pressure...

Clean he debris out of pump, screen etc.
If replacing then move the pump so you can accomplish this task easily.
